Tallow Alcohol Ethoxylate Polyether from Japan

Tallow alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic polyether surfactant from tallow-derived fatty alcohols (animal origin C16-C18), used in agricultural spray adjuvants and heavy-duty cleaners. It qualifies under heading 3402 as it meets emulsion and surface tension tests from animal fatty origin. Its hydroxyl number of 265 or more makes it appropriate for polyurethane moulding compositions.
